After Buying a Cat Slave, I Become Obsessed with Eavesdropping on Her Thoughts

In a world where tomorrow's bread is never certain and demi-humans are sold like livestock, Reiner makes a daring purchase: a cat-type demi-human whose talent outshines her tragic circumstances. A...

Chapter 2 The Dishonest Cat Girl (1/2)

Nora fell into a coma after the seal was sealed, and Reiner took her to his home outside of Merode.

[Task: Purchase a slave

Current status: Completed

Rewards have been issued]

As soon as she finished speaking, ten Diast silver coins with coyote patterns printed on them appeared out of thin air beside Nora.

Reiner picked it up and put it away.

[Mission update: Take Nora to the Adventurer's Guild to accept the commissioned mission and complete it.

Mission Reward: A bottle of holy water that can be used to heal wounds.]

Soon, the blue characters gradually disappeared from his sight.

Reiner continued to look down at Nora who was still unconscious.

The slave trader said she would wake up soon.

But now I have been lying down for almost the whole afternoon and there is still no response.

Reiner poked Nora's cheek with a small wooden spoon, then lifted her hair and studied her face.

Although Nora was skinny and had a dirty face, her features were still quite attractive.

Her eyebrows were like stars and moons, her eyelashes were thick and long, her nose was high and delicate, and her lips were pale but still plump.

If she were washed and dressed up, she would definitely be beautiful.

Just as he was watching intently, Nora's eyebrows twitched.

She slowly opened her eyes and their eyes met.

"Ah!" Nora pushed Reiner away in shock and hid aside.

Finally, she was like a frightened cat, with all the hair on her ears standing up: "Stay away from me!"

"Calm down, this is my house, you are safe."

Nora looked around carefully, checking her surroundings.

Seeing that Reiner had no intention of moving forward, she stuck out her pink tongue and licked the mark on her arm.

(It's all over...)

Nora shed tears without saying a word.

Seeing this, Reiner comforted her in Demihuman language, "Don't worry, I will treat you well."

Nora lowered her head and said nothing.

But her stomach spoke for her: "Gu..."

She is hungry.

In order to keep them obedient, the greedy slave traders made it impossible for her to have a full meal every day.

Judging from her current condition, she probably hasn't eaten anything for a few days.

"Wait."

Reiner went to the kitchen to find a piece of brown bread, sliced ​​it, poured a spoonful of the leftover broth from last night on it, and brought it out.

Nora was still curled up there, not moving at all.

Reiner handed over the black bread, and Nora looked up at him.

But she didn't reach out to take it, her heart full of concerns.

(Is this for me? Will he poison it?)

In the end, hunger triumphed over reason.

Nora picked up a piece of brown bread and took a cautious bite.

After making sure it was edible, she wolfed it down.

Brown bread is dry and hard, and unscrupulous bakeries will mix sawdust and straw into it, which can cause choking if eaten.

"Slow down, no one will snatch it from you."

Nora nodded, but continued stuffing food into her mouth.

In just ten minutes, the black bread on the plate was cleared out, but she seemed not to be full yet.

Seeing this, Reiner went to the kitchen and cut another half piece of black bread.

He wiped the chopped bread on the empty pot, absorbed the soup, and put it out.

Nora ate voraciously again, and finally there was nothing left on the wooden plate.

Reiner handed Nora a glass of water so that she could moisten her throat.

(Delicious... I don't know when the next meal will be...)

Reiner propped up his chin, observed her carefully, and said softly, "As long as you are obedient, you can eat food like this every day at noon and evening."

Nora nodded, responded softly, and then licked the bread crumbs on the corner of her mouth as if savoring something: "Hmm..."
